Running Wild Podcast’s Rich and Runz bring you another episode of wrestling discussion, sharing their thoughts on all the latest in the world of professional wrestling.

Rich and Runz discuss their WWE’s Hell in a Cell reactions and debate whether or not WWE 205 will be positive for the Cruiswerweight roster

On this episode of Running Wild Podcast, the guys recap and review RAW and Smackdown, sharing their thoughts on the latest offerings from WWE programming.

The two discuss the Hell in a Cell event and share their thoughts on the build to Survivor Series. Rich and Runz talk about the Cruiserweight and Women’s title changes from the PPV and what comes next for the new champions and challengers.

The guys also ponder how the Survivor Series squads will shape up, the use of Rusev as a foil for Goldberg’s appearance on Monday Night Raw and how RAW talk measures up to Talking Smack.

Sean and Paul are joined by Wrestling Unwrapped’s Patrick Ketza and Harry Broadhurst to discuss all things WWE No Mercy 2016.
The guys talk about the weird decision to have the “main event” start
the show. Of course, they cover all the matches. They cover the results.
Plus, the other weird match position decisions on the show as well.
They may even get into a little of the post-show Talking Smack too. So, be sure to join them for a WWE No Mercy 2016 Review.

Sean Garmer is joined by Wrestling Unwrapped’s Patrick Ketza to talk all
things WWE Cruiserweight Classic Finals. The guy’s discuss the matches,
the big moments and the epic announcement by Triple H as well. Did we
enjoy the show? What did we think of who wound up in the final? What
about the ultimate winner? We discuss all of these things and
everything else about the show in our Wrestling 2 the MAX EXTRA: WWE

Sorry for the delay, a technical issue with Sean's PC and his internet
prevented us from getting this out until today. But our streak of not
missing a show continues.

On this W2M episode, we discuss Dragon Gate for the first time ever on
the podcast. This is a promotion Sean and Paul have enjoyed for quite a
while and we are very excited to be able to give listeners a full Dragon
Gate Kobe World 2016 Review. Don’t know if this will be a regular
thing, but at least we can cover their

biggest show of the year right here.

However, we start the show with Gary discussing some thoughts on the first Smackdown Live of the “New Era.”

Then we get into the usual with the Wrestling News in “Quick Hits.” WWE
released their most recent quarterly business numbers. WWE also
confirmed they won’t be suspending Brock Lesnar. Lucha Underground
announced they are returning on September 7 with Season 3. Alberto Del
Rio possibly leaving WWE soon. Prince Puma appearing at AAA’s
Triplemania, and more.

Next, we discuss WWE NXT and the WWE Cruiserweight Classic.

After that, is where we get into the Dragon Gate Kobe World 2016 Review.

Then we cover TNA Impact Wrestling.

Finally, we give out our W2M Power Rankings to end the show.

---------------------- Time Stamps ----------------------

(7:30-17:00) Gary discusses his thoughts on Smackdown Live with Sean and Paul

The WWE Draft has been anticipated for a long while by wrestling fans
worldwide. The first Smackdown Live has come and gone, and it looks
like Smackdown may still be the B Show. We go over the WWE Draft
Results, we analyze how the rosters shape up, and discuss the NXT
choices made as well. All of this, plus Super J Cup predictions, another
possible Brock Lesnar USADA violation, and more.

We were rather fortunate with this W2M EXTRA, as literally hours before
we were set to do our WWE Mock Draft, WWE released the official rules
for the draft. Of course, the WWE Draft takes place on the first live
Smackdown on Tuesday night.

So, we take our shot at trying to predict what’s going to happen with
this WWE Mock Draft. Paul makes his return after his one week trip to
reunite the W2M trio. However, to sort of mimic the commissioner and
general manager scenario proposed on last week’s

WWE RAW, we’ve added a
fourth person for this episode. Sean and Gary’s co-host on the Football 2
the MAX podcast Randy Isbelle.

How will the real WWE Draft rules affect this WWE Mock Draft? Will
anyone decide to split tag teams? Who will be the six drafted from NXT?
We try to figure it all out. Gary and Paul pick for RAW, (including the
extra picks,) and Sean and Randy pick for Smackdown. If anything, this
promises to be a fun special episode.

On this episode of W2M, Tom Reese joins the show to help cover one of
the biggest events of the entire wrestling year. Of course, that’s the
New Japan Pro-Wrestling G1 Climax tournament. We discuss what the odds
are for each wrestler involved, points they may garner, and who has the
best chance to win it all. This NJPW G1 Climax 26 Preview is going to
be as all-encompassing as we can make it.

We start things though with Wrestling News in “Quick Hits.” We discuss John Cena’s performance at

the ESPY’S and how long
he really has left in WWE. Moose signs a two year deal, AJ Lee’s
autobiography has a name, Caristico is injured again, and more.

We get into our NJPW G1 Climax 26 Preview

Then, we discuss the big Shinsuke Nakamura and Finn Balor match from
NXT. After that we touch on the first week of the Cruiserweight Classic.
After that, the second week of Ultima Lucha Dos as well.

Finally, we talk about the final Tuesday night episode of TNA Impact
Wrestling. Then, we do the W2M Power Rankings to end the show.

------------- Time Stamps --------------

(10:00-42:15) Wrestling News: John Cena at the ESPY'S and how he could
be doing more outside of WWE. Moose signs a two year deal with TNA. AJ
Lee's book has a name. The WWE Draft Center and more.

We make Cruiserweight Classic Predictions, discuss the ins and outs of
WWE RAW, and talk about Brock Lesnar’s big win at UFC 200 over Mark
Hunt.

Paul is on a one week vacation, so Gary and Sean are joined by the
"fourth co-host" Chris Lemchi. The guys discuss RAW and the evident
McMahon Authority figure problem. Why having double the amount of
authority figures is not good and how it really doesn’t promote change
either. WWE also still hasn’t given much in the way of specifics for

the WWE Draft and that’s also a concern.

Then we get into the wrestling news in “Quick Hits,” where we talk about
the UFC $4 Billion sale affecting WWE. TNA sale rumors have popped up
again this week. Moose could also be very close to heading to TNA as
well. The final lineup for PWG’s BOLA 2016 is out. WWE even has some new
WWE Network shows they have asked about too.

Next, we get into those Cruiserweight Classic Predictions.

Finally, we end things with a look at Ring of Honor’s television show.

Don’t forget to join us on the Friday morning Part 2 show, as Tom Reese
joins the guys to give a full NJPW G1 Climax 26 Preview. We also have
the big Shinsuke Nakamura vs. Finn Balor showdown on NXT. Not to
mention, the second hour of Ultima Lucha Dos, the Destination X TNA
show, and more.

On this episode of W2M, we look at the final New Japan Pro-Wrestling
show before the G1 Climax 26. So, there’s a NJPW Kizuna Road 2016 Review
to do.

Harry Broadhurst also joins us to discuss WWE RAW. This is why the
conversation lasts a bit longer than usual for that segment as well.

After that, we get into the wrestling news in “Quick Hits.” we talk
about Brock Lesnar’s potential Summerslam opponent. Tajiri could be
returning to WWE TV after the Cruiserweight Classic. Roderick Strong is

back in Evolve. There are more participants added to PWG’s Battle of Los Angeles 2016 and more.
